Chapter 280 Intricacies

Chapter 280: A sequel

No matter how slow Bi Suinan is about political affairs, he still understands his son-in-law's concerns.

He had no intention of this prefect of Nankang. After hearing the advice from his son-in-law, he said immediately: "This is no problem. I will write a memorial to His Majesty tomorrow."

Lin Yuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The situation in Jiangnan has always been complicated. Your Majesty sent a few more confidants here. Now it is a pool of muddy water, so we must not get involved."

Bi Suinan agreed deeply, but Lin Zisu said: "The wind has spread. Now that my grandfather reports the memorial again, it is probably too late."

Lin Zisu's words were like a thunderous sentence. Seeing that both grandfather and father looked at him, he added: "Grandpa made suggestions to Your Majesty to open the maritime ban. Even if Grandpa doesn't rob their position, they will not give up. Besides, once Grandpa refuses, Your Majesty will only think that you are useless, and I am afraid that you will not be careful to protect you."

Lin Yuanzhisuzhi's daughter had a lot of insights into politics and asked, "Sister, how should I deal with this matter according to you?"

Lin Zisu looked at Bi Suinan with bright eyes and said, "There is no turning back when the arrow is drawn. Since my grandfather has proposed to open the sea ban, he can only stick to it and make some achievements. As long as he has the protection of His Majesty, I think those censors can't do anything to you."

Having said that, the government has changed, and Lin Zisu's guess seems to have all failed.

After the emperor suppressed the memorials participating in Bi Suinan, the censors did not stop, but gathered several court officials and wrote more than a dozen memorials in a scattered manner, and handed them over to the Tongzheng Envoy Department and the Censorate.

This time, he not only continued to participate in Bi Suinan's affair with the pirates, but also brought Dun King Xie Xi up there.

The Dayan and Beidi border wars were in a truce and formed a brotherly alliance.

Fang Luan had to worry about the reality.

If the terms of cede the city are spread, the generals may have a strife.

The generals have always scoffed at peace talks, not to mention that the governors of the Five Army Governor's Office were all powerful generals who followed Taizu's battles in the north and south.

That night, a rumor came from the palace that Prince Xie Yao went to see the emperor and said that Xie Xi was inappropriate and should not be involved in the peace talks with Beidi.

"Yes, I heard that Beidi's horses are cheap, so I guess they can sell some horses to sell in the future."

Fang Luan, the Marquis of Weiyuan, was summoned by the emperor for discussion today. Seeing that he was abnormal, the emperor actually agreed with the cabinet's opinions. He was quite displeased. He took advantage of the gap in the cabinet's speech and shouted: "Mr. Weiyuan, tell me, can this peace talk with Beidi be worthy of everyone?"

With Qian Minzhong and Lu Zhiyuan, the atmosphere in Jiyi Palace was very harmonious.

For a time, both inside and outside the court and the country praised the prince.

However, he always had to take the lead in expressing his position, and said now: "There are all under the Prince's Hall, and I admire you very much."

"Your Highness's peace talks have resolved Lu Yuan's embarrassment and ensured long-term peace on the border. I thank the emperor and Your Highness for the people of Lu Yuan."

Lu Zhiyuan said, bowing deeply to Xie Yao.

This question made Fang Luan a little embarrassed.

Dayan ordered the Upp tribe to withdraw from Beidi. Since then, Beidi no longer invaded Dayan. Both sides stopped fighting and did not invade each other.

At the suggestion of the cabinet, Xie Yao made huge concessions. In just two days, Xie Yao finalized the draft of the peace talks with the third prince of Beidi.

Xie Yaoke politely replied to Lu Zhiyuan and said, "You are polite to Secretary Lu. Protecting the country and safeguarding the people is my responsibility."

Such a letter and book seem to be a foregone conclusion, and it is only a matter of lack of the emperor's consent.

Beidi was a defeated general under Dayan. Although time has changed, Beidi's power has become stronger and stronger, and Dayan has few generals who can fight Beidi.

As the people who are interested spread, they quickly spread and some content in the book.

"The official family is wise and wise, and the prince is indeed the demeanor of a crown prince."

The Lu family where Lu Zhiyuan is located is a famous family in Luyuan and has a great influence in Luyuan.

It was a surprise that a peace talk conquered the important figures in the court.

When he arrived at Fang Luan, Hou Weiyuan, he even said a few gossips to Qian Minzhong, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.

After Qian Minzhong finished speaking, he smiled at Lu Zhiyuan and said, "Mr. Lu, your home seems to be in Luyuan. I wonder what you think?"

It was said that Bi Suinan was the grandfather of the future Princess Dun. The two were dissatisfied with the emperor's appointment as crown prince, so they colluded internally and externally, with the intention of being unfavorable to the prince.

Qian Minzhong is still temporarily serving as the chief minister of the cabinet and is still waiting for the emperor to let go. At this time, he will naturally not violate the emperor's taboos.

Of course, Xie Yao also knew that cedes land was not a glorious thing, so when he talked to the outside world, he did not talk about cedes the six cities, but only said that it was His Royal Highness's kindness, which relieved the suffering of war in the border people.

The emperor agreed to Xie Yao's request very readily.

In Xie Yao's heart, Lu Zhiyuan has always been arrogant and has always been rude with others. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhiyuan would be so polite to him.

The two sides open border trading to promote material exchanges.

Even Qian Minzhong, who had always complained about Xie Yao, did not say anything else.

"The Northern Di has been invading our Dayan for many years, but it has been banned many times. Since then, the Northern Territory can rest assured."

But in the minds of the generals, they always looked down on Beidi.

The censors were confident that they said that Xie Xi went to Jiangnan a few days ago, just to plan in Jiangnan in advance.

The focus of the peace talks between the two sides was actually only those few. Without Xie Xi's interference, the peace talks progressed very quickly.

Qian Minzhongyuan thought that Lu Zhiyuan would definitely object when he ceded the six cities of Luyuan, but when he saw him, he looked calm and gentle, and he couldn't help but feel curious.

As the selection of a concubine came to an end, Fang Qingge's title of Crown Princess seemed to be determined.

Xie Yao also made the six cities in Luyuan, all of which were assigned to the Northern Di on the grounds that it was difficult to defend and easy to attack.

In Jiyi Hall, the emperor pointed to the Heshu in front of him and said to the cabinet.

"This is a peace talk that the prince has worked hard to help. You all tell me, what exactly is it?"

This peace talk was discussed by Xie Yao. As Xie Yao’s future father-in-law, Fang Luan naturally had to say a few good things to Xie Yao.

However, the emperor's words seemed not very satisfied with this and the details in the book. If he only admired it, he would probably be despised by the emperor's office of the Five Army.

Fang Luan's mind turned around and said, "I have been fighting with the Northern Di for many years. The border residents have suffered from wars. It is naturally what people want to stop the war. However, it is difficult for everyone to talk about it. Whether it is a war or a peace, there will be people who will be dissatisfied. Your Majesty doesn't have to take it too seriously."

The emperor said "Oh" and asked, "Why Marquis Weiyuan means that he is very satisfied with this peace talk?"
